When we came home tonight, my husband smelled cooking coming from a neighbor’s place, and said it reminded him of a childhood favorite, Tuna Noodle Casserole. He hasn’t made it in a long time, but grew up on a recipe that used the typical canned-soup approach.
On the food network site, Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond has a from-scratch recipe that looks a lot better:

Another recipe from prepared items that we used to make was Corned Beef Hash, using canned corn beef and mashed potatoes. But if you are having corned beef for St. Patrick’s day, here’s a more interesting recipe for your leftovers, from the Happy Money Saver site:

That’s the stuff; but we buy the red can...
“potato chips? Bread crumbs?”
I don’t bake it. Just sort of eat it soupy.
Its been hard to find and I’ve lived on the border for most of mylife
Gnight and thanks for the thread
I love fish and chips but hate to fry at home. The rest of the things I mentioned rotate through my menu plans every month or so.
Cracker Barrel has decent fish on Fridays. Comes with fries and cole slaw.
Fair enough :)
:) Coleman’s is a staple in my kitchen.
I’ll have to try that! Thanks!
Even the yellow one is good.
G’Nite.
Sorry...just thinking about tuna casserole makes me gag. The same goes for the ubiquitous green bean casserole at Thanksgiving. YUK!
Everybody’s mileage varies :-)
(There are things for which you might pay hundreds of dollars in a fancy restaurant, that I wouldn’t touch.)
My husband finds tuna casserole to be a completely disgusting dish. More for me ; )
I am loving the duck
I still remember buying my first can of salmon when I was in college. I thought of making salmon croquettes. But when I opened the can the sight of bones and skin in the can made me think I got a defective one. The cashiers at the grocery store laughed when I returned it and they told me that that was how canned salmon came. I guess now it’s different but that turned me off to it.
The bones and skin are where a lot of the nutrition lies. You can crunch those bones around in your fingers as you mix up your recipe, and they turn to powder.
I’m not crazy about canned salmon - would much rather stock up on Tuna. But nutritionally, salmon is a good addition to your SHTF stash.
I noticed your other kitty stretched out in front of the fireplace. Our older kitty (15) has become VERY fond of her sleeping pad(s) on the sofa once we put a heating pad underneath it. She will only get off it to eat, go to the loo or take a quick trip down our condo hallway and back to ensure we’re all safe. I feel sorry if the other one tries to get on it first. The older one is pretty laid back most of the time but I think this might be a hill she would gladly die on! She’s all stretched out on it really enjoying the warmth. I guess it’s okay to leave it on all the time.
I just got done watching a show on Netflix called "Ainsley Eats the Streets". I British chef goes to different countries and tries to discover their best "street food". He was in Iceland and his host talked him into trying lutefisk (in this case preserved shark meat). He gagged just smelling it and was brave enough to put a tiny cube of it in his mouth but immediately spit it out wiping his tongue and trying to drink something, any thing, to get the taste out of his mouth! It was hilarious. He said it was like chewing on a urine-soaked mattress - EWWWW! I guess lutefisk is their little joke on tourists but I'm not convinced the locals even eat it.
Luckily, my husband detests it as much as I do so I don’t have to make it for him.
A Meaty MEMO is apparently being served Friday !
